Eudmarco S/A Serviços e Comércio Internacional has expanded its fleet at the Port of Santos terminal in Brazil with two new customized Konecranes reach stackers: the Konecranes SMV 4638 TC6H and Konecranes Liftace 4532 TC5. Ordered in early 2024 and delivered in November, these machines are equipped with advanced driveline technology, offering up to 10% fuel savings compared to older models.
The new reach stackers feature load-sensing pumps and an automatic acceleration system for hydraulic movements, reducing engine revving and carbon emissions. Additionally, an eco mode enhances fuel efficiency and prolongs the equipment’s lifespan. Built with the same chassis as the top-selling Konecranes SMV 4632 TC6 model, they also incorporate power-damping capabilities to improve stability, especially on uneven terrain or during container loading onto trains.
The Konecranes SMV 4638 TC6H offers increased capacity, allowing operators to stack up to six 9’6’’ containers in the first row and five in the second, boosting operational efficiency. To enhance safety, it is equipped with larger 18.33-inch tires.
José Wenes, Administrative Manager at Eudmarco’s parent company ABA Infraestrutura e Logística, commented, “We are very happy to make our operations more eco-efficient with Konecranes’ new fuel-saving technology.”
The reach stackers also feature Konecranes TRUCONNECT telematics, enabling remote monitoring through the yourKONECRANES.com portal and Konecranes CheckApp for inspections.
Andres Ramirez, Sales Manager at Konecranes, stated, “We’re excited to help Eudmarco achieve higher productivity with lower fuel consumption and fewer emissions.”
